Tillbudsanmälan

Tillbudsanmälan is a Swedish term that translates to "accident reporting" or "reporting of near misses." It refers to the formal process of documenting and reporting incidents that occur in a workplace. This includes not only actual accidents that result in injury or damage but also near misses, which are events that could have led to an accident but did not. The primary purpose of tillbudsanmälan is to improve workplace safety by identifying potential hazards and implementing preventative measures.

The reporting process typically involves filling out a specific form that details the nature of the incident, the date and time it occurred, the location, the individuals involved, and a description of what happened. It also includes information about any contributing factors or underlying causes. This documentation is crucial for analysis by the employer, and in some cases, by external authorities like the Swedish Work Environment Authority (Arbetsmiljöverket).

By systematically reporting and analyzing these incidents, organizations can gain valuable insights into their safety performance. This information can then be used to revise safety procedures, provide additional training, improve equipment, or address environmental factors that may pose a risk. The goal is to create a proactive safety culture where all incidents, regardless of their severity, are seen as opportunities for learning and improvement, thereby reducing the likelihood of future accidents. Tillbudsanmälan is therefore a fundamental component of effective occupational health and safety management in Sweden.
